What does one purchase after owning horns?


I have owned Avantgarde Uno's and sold them because of the lack of bass to horn integration. I loved the dynamics, the midrange and highs. Now faced with a new speaker purchase, I demo speakers and they sound lifeless and contrived. The drama and beauty of live music and even the sound of percussion insturments like a piano are not at all convincing. I have an $8k budget for speakers give or take a thousand. My room is 13'X26' firing down the length. Any good ideas will be appreciated. My music prefrences are jazz/jazz vocalist.

Pass on Dan_Ed, such romper room banter is best left until he has had his milky.

It appears you believe the AG trio to be the best speaker on the planet, seeing that the OP has moved on and replaced his AG uno, could you give us an idea of your references..

Yes, Weseixas. If, You and Unsound would just simply "pass" on threads concerning horns instead of trolling for arguments the rest of us could get on with what we like to discuss. We horn lovers get that you guys don't like horns. Myself, I don't give a shit whether or not you two "get it" or not, which is why I don't try to convert anyone.

I see you are suffering from Myopia with a touch of dementia, for this is not a horn thread ! it's how do i move on from owning horn speaker, a simple detail easily overlooked by a zealot like yourself.

Now run off and drink your milky .....
Weseixas,

I see you are just a troll trying to pick a fight. I will not waste any more time on you. Have a good day.

Unsound,

I agree entirely. If horns were so very much better than everything else then why are they marginalized to such a small segment of the market. Horns are mostly used in PA and live sound reinforcement. While in the home, they are rare enough to be considered a novelty. Of course, horns can sound outstanding...but the zealots here insist there is nothing else that can even be considered as an alternative???
